Yoruichi Toyama's problem is that as long as he knows something about a case, he basically knows who the murderer is.
But he couldn't say it.
If he were a policeman, he could use his power without explanation, but he's just an ordinary detective who relies entirely on luck.
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to have a prophetic family persona when I first transmigrated.
Not counting the Conan world, I remember that the Kid and Kindaichi worlds both had supernatural powers.
Yoruichi Toyama imagined herself wearing a Taoist robe like Li Xiaolang's, holding a talisman and chanting "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"...
Let's forget about it.
Just as he was lost in his daydreams, he saw Mingzhi's glasses gleaming as he looked at him.
"How can you be sure that King Sisa knows about our actions?"
This is not a doubt about Yoruichi Toyama.
Or rather, it's because Mingzhi himself had doubts in this regard that he asked this question.
Yoruichi Toyama shrugged.
"First of all, I want to clarify that I know nothing about that environmental organization 'Neom Kingdom', nor do I know whether they have anything to do with this incident."
"The 'King of Cissa' I'm referring to, like Superintendent Akechi, is the mastermind behind this terrorist attack."
Glancing at Inspector Shiratori in the shadows, Yoruichi Toyama first layered two armors on herself.
"As for the mastermind behind it all, I think we've discussed this before. He must have had a reason for planting the bomb in the soon-to-open Deep Blue Hotel."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought the bomb in first, even before the detonation device was fully installed."
"Moreover, since someone on their team was able to hack into the hotel's management system, they are likely to take other actions in conjunction with the threat of this poison gas bomb."
"In that case, as the mastermind, it's a bit too careless of him to not pay attention to the progress of the plan and then be wiped out by the police overnight with bombs and his men."
"So I guess that person has been secretly watching our actions, but just couldn't stop us."
“But contacting his subordinates at this time would arouse suspicion from others, so he held back, at least to protect himself.”
This argument is far-fetched, but it's not entirely without merit.
Yoruichi Toyama's goal wasn't a mystery show, but rather to guide the police to find "King Cissa," who was still hiding in the hotel, as soon as possible.
He was an extremely narrow-minded guy who would even exploit a 15-year-old girl for his own selfish gain.
Mingzhi listened to his analysis, but only nodded slightly before sitting back down at the computer.
“Inspector Akechi,” Inspector Shiratori couldn’t help but exclaim this time, “I think Mr. Toyama is right.”
Mingzhi hummed in agreement, his gaze remaining fixed on the computer screen.
“I also think he makes a good point.”
Inspector Shiratori's expression turned somewhat helpless.
"Shouldn't we hurry up and question Shui Cheng and the other two, making them reveal the identities and whereabouts of their accomplices?"
"You guys can go ahead." Akechi agreed without much interest, but finally turned around and glanced at Yoruichi Toyama.
"Yuanshan, do you want to go back and rest? Or stay here and give me some advice?"
Thanks to the effects of the coffee she had just drunk, and with her most tired period over, Yoruichi Toyama didn't feel much fatigue.
But he simply smiled and shook his head in response to the wise invitation.
"I want to talk to that girl."
In other words, they chose the same method as Inspector Shiratori.
Although Mingzhi was somewhat surprised, he did not intend to stop it.
Yoruichi Toyama turned back and asked another question.
"That girl, the one named Naguo Wuqin, you should know something about her computer skills, right?"
"She's only 15 years old, yet she's being used to commit crimes. Don't you want to save her?"
In the original storyline, a hostage situation occurred at the Deep Blue Hotel on Azure Island. Although Mingzhi was not present at the scene, he remotely contacted Wuqin, who had hacked into the hotel's system, via computer.
Despite being deeply brainwashed by "King Sissa," she painstakingly awakened herself, enabling her to successfully break free from the control of that evil organization.
Why is Mingzhi now completely indifferent to Wuqin?
Seeing Yoruichi Toyama's expectant gaze, Akechi chuckled softly.
"A misguided genius girl? The news media would definitely be interested in this kind of persona."
"However, Yuanshan, I am a police officer."
"My compassion is not reserved for criminals."
...
As Yoruichi Toyama walked alone toward the room where Naguni Mukoto was imprisoned, she probably figured out her wise stance.
"The last time," that is, in the original storyline, Shuicheng and Wuqin's group successfully took hostages, occupied the hotel with the threat of poison gas, and confronted the police.
With the police hesitant to launch a full-scale attack and the hotel's management system under Wuqin's control, they could only try to delay the situation through negotiation.
It was around that time that Mingzhi came into contact with Wuqin.
Therefore, the conversation at that time was less about delving into the inner world of a 15-year-old girl and helping her get back on the right track, and more about a special tactic used by the police when a direct raid failed.
Everything was for the purpose of rescuing the hostages and ensuring the safety of ordinary people.
As for rescuing Wuqin, that was merely a side effect of taking this approach, and it was harmless.
In the current situation, who would bother negotiating with criminals who are trying to carry out terrorist attacks?
There's nothing wrong with making a wise choice, and Yoruichi Toyama certainly had her own judgment.
